Does iMessage screen sharing still works with Yosemite ?

Till maverick, the Screen Sharing feature was perfectly working with AIM or jabber/Gtalk.
Since Yosemite I can't use anymore the function. It never works.
Sometimes the sound (audio chat) work but never the screen view.
Is there anything new in Yosemite to make it working ?

Hi,
In Yosemite the AIM and Jabber (Google) Screen Sharing still works.
However the iMessages account can now Invoke the System Screen Sharing (See System Preferences > Sharing > Screen Sharing that has to be Enabled).
this works like the Video and Audio Chats in that another App is invoked rather than use the feature already in the app.
Of course the Contact (rather than Buddy) also needs to have th Screen Sharing is System Preferences turned On.
In the Video Menu > Connection Doctor are you getting any info when it fails ?

Screen sharing not working with eMac lab after 3.2 update

Screen sharing no longer functions after applying the 3.2 update in our eMac labs running 10.4.10 and PPC processors. However, it still functions in our iMac labs running 10.4.10 Intel processors. Before update, I was able to screen share with all the computers in the lab. After the update, I am only able to share with one single computer at a time. Not very useful anymore for teachers to use for demonstrating purposes at our school. It definately had something to do with the update since it was working moments before the update. Please help before I have to call Apple regarding this issue. Again, it only seems to affect screen sharing across PPC eMac computers, not Intel based computers.

Through much testing at our schools, we determined that the problem lies with the update and the admin machine running ARD. If the admin machine is less than a G5 (doesn't matter if it is intel or PPC), ARD will not screen share with multiple computers (more than 3 machines) at a time. If you have a G5 admin machine, you probably will not experience this problem. Apple has yet to contact our district regarding any options for fixing the problem. We are currently in the process of shuffling computers to make sure there is a G5 admin machine in every lab to run ARD. However, I still think Apple needs to recognize this as a problem with their update. Screen sharing is a great tool for teaching class and it is too bad that with the current 3.2 update, it breaks the ability to use it with "older" G4 macs. Hence, that is why your eMac screen sharing is not working anymore. I can only hope for a prompt update to ARD to remedy this situation.

Screen Sharing not working with "New" MacBooks

I have a problem. My friends just got the "New" MacBooks, and I have a white MacBook. I tried Screen Sharing with them, but it just does not work. We get audio for the first few seconds, but we never see the other persons screen. Anyone else have this issue, and if you have a "New" macbook, I would like to see if it would work with yours. My AIM Name for iChat is ckeboss

Hi,
This Motorola is a branded Netopia device (Motorola Own them now)
Default access info is near the top of this page
Turn the Firewall Off or to Low as Medium an High have things that interfere with iChat. (Make sure the Stateful Packet Inspection is OFF)
Check all the tabs across the top and the menus down the side of each page to see if it has UPnP (most likely in Local Network but could be anywhere)
The pics will show you if it is doing DHCP
The Airport settings are in Airport Utility and on the Internet iCon screen where it says "Share a Public IP" in the bottom drop down.

Video and Screen Sharing not working with new modem

I give up. Just replaced my old dead Motorola DSL modem with a new Motorola 2210-02 DSL Modem and now iChat video and screen sharing aren't working. I am running 10.5.7, have an Airport Extreme, and 2 computers with cameras (a G5 with an iSight, a Macbook Pro with built in camera) and both worked fine before the modem switch. iChat works, just not video or screen sharing. I have 3 or so friends that I used to be able to video chat with regularly before the modem swap. Spent 3 hours and $50.00 on Apple support with no results. Also talked with my provider (AT&T/Yahoo) and they were no help. Anyone?

Screensaver installed on Mountain Lion still works with Yosemite but Attempting to install on later MBP it won't work with Mavericks or Yosemite

I installed Porsche's 911 Screensaver on my 2011 MBP when it had Mountain Lion. It still works after upgrades up to Yosemite. I attempted to install the same on my late 2013 MBP Retina (Mavericks and Yosemite) and though it installs, I get the message that the screensaver isn't compatible with this version of OS X. How can a piece of software work on one MBP and not another? The 2011 is 15", quad-core i7 and the 2013 is about as powerful but 13" and all SSD. This is confusing
Thanks for the help

so return it for another one if its within the 14 day return policy. If not, bring it in for repair.

Does the newest Mac still work with ten year old software?

Super basic question from a completely techno-illiterate user.
I'm getting a latest greatest laptop in the next couple days. The last Mac I bought was a PowerBook G4 which is currently running 10.4.10.
Does the latest operating system (sorry I don't know the new names or version numbers) still permit all the usual software I've been using for a long while ... my old MS Office software and such? Or is the latest version some new breakthrough again (like OS9 to OSX) that requires buying new software again.
Sorry for the idiot question. My last Mac is ten years old and I don't focus on technology at all. I just use the thing for basic chores and features and to browse the web.
Short version: I don't have to re-buy a bunch of software again if I get a new Mac, do I...? All my old software that worked under OS 10.4.10 will still work under the newest operating system?
-JOHN

Your old software may or may not run. Depends on each application. Unfortunately, just because an app runs on a G4 with OS X 10.4.11 does not mean it will automatically run on Snow Leopard (10.6.x).
You will need to check with each vendor; hopefully you don't have too many to check. If you can post a (hopefully short) list of the apps you have, and their version numbers, people here can probably tell you what will be ok or not on your new Mac.
Regarding MS Office, I would not try to install or run the original Office X on a new, Snow Leopard Mac. Office Mac 2004 may run ok, but if you have to upgrade, get Office Mac 2008. If you buy Office 2008 now, you can get a free upgrade to Office 2011 when it comes out around the end of the year.

Can't get my iMessage and FaceTime to work with Yosemite

Hi all I am trying to fix iMessage and FaceTime since updating to Yosemite. Basically I cannot seem to login into either of them - keeps telling me to register when I already was on Mountain Lion. Calling up Apple support is £35. Pls help. Thx

Hey EDneedhelp,
I see that you may be experiencing some issues with your ability to log in to FaceTime and iMessage on iOS 8. I have an article that explains the troubleshooting steps for addressing these issues, and it can be found below:

Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!

Screen Sharing not working from Yosemite 10.10.2 = Mavericks

Seemingly after the upgrade from 10.10.1 to 10.10.2 my workstation can no longer connect to the workstations that I had successfully before been connecting to before the upgrade. I have already tried formatting my hard drive and transferring files from a previous Time Machine backup.
From the terminal if I issue this command:
open vnc://192.168.1.201
Below you can find the relevant logging to /var/log/system.log (including leading and trailing logs for potentialy relevance)
http://tny.cz/69b303b6
I can succesfully connect to that URL from a machine running mavericks version 10.9.4 on the same wireless network.
Clearly something is crashing on the newer Yosemite machine – potentially relevant lines are:
"Screen Sharing[309]: No valid display name"
"acquire_kerberos failed com.apple.idms.appleid.prd"
"-[SSAddress url]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x7fad60e77510"
Another thing to note is that I can only perform that operation one time and achieve that stacktrace. Every other time I issue that command Screen Sharing.app fails silently.
Thanks!

Hi Bill,
You could try removing all the installed components manually and then try again (install, don't open but update right away).
According to the installer the files are located in:
/Applications/Remote Desktop.app (that one was hard to find )
/Library/Application Support/Apple/Remote Desktop/
/Library/Preferences/com.Apple.ARDAgent.plist
/Library/Preferences/com.Apple.RemoteDesktop.plist
/Library/Receipts/
/Library/Widgets/RemoteDesktop.wdgt
(not sure if the following files tie into other parts of the OS so removing them may cause issues)
/System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement
/usr/bin/share/man/man1
perhaps a permission repair after all parts have been deleted and a restart before trying again.

Why does my Kodak printer not work with yosemite?

ever since upgrading to yosemite, my kodak printer will not work. i got as far as being able to download a software update but still no joy.

My kodak 5250 would not print and I tryed the termial with no luck and then i received an email from nowater and turn on Bonjuor in safair and now I am printing i did not enter the ip address of my printer
heres the email
I decided to poke around in the Epson settings via the web interface. To do this, just enter the printer's IP address in a browser that's on the same network (you may have to skip some HTTPS / certificate warnings). From there I looked around until I found Wi-Fi/Network Settings / Services / Protocol. On my system, Use Bonjour was unchecked. I had seen in other people screenshots and videos that when the Add Printer tool works, it shows that it connects via Bonjour Multifunction, so I enabled Bonjour and saved the settings. After waiting a few minutes for the settings to be applied, I was able to add the printer via the Add Printer Default tab (I did change the "Use" setting from "Secure AirPrint" to "Epson WF-3620 Series" option -- I think this is the Epson specific driver).
I don't know if Bonjour is disabled by default or if I turned it off somehow in the past and forgot, but it's an easy enough fix that might work for someone else so I thought I should share.
OTHER posible solotion
Go to Spotlight, then enter Terminal and press Enter.
The terminal window/program opens.
Enter sudo sh -c 'echo "Sandboxing Relaxed" >> /etc/cups/cups-files.conf' in the terminal.
Enter your system OS login password when prompted.
Note: The password you enter will not appear, which is normal. Be sure to enter the correct password.
Enter sudo launchctl stop org.cups.cupsdYour screen will look similar to the following:

HT201066 Does the screen record function work with quick time pro for windows?

I am looking at purchasing QuickTime Pro for Winodiws (yes I will be getting a mac soon...) and I was wondering if the screen recorder function that is with quick time on macs is still available on windows?

Screen recording is part of QuickTime X, not QuickTime Pro. QuickTime X is only available for Macs.

Does shake still work with OS X Yosemite?

I still use Shake extensively in my workflows. Does anyone know yet whether it will still work with Yosemite? If now what kinds for work around might there be?
All I have seen on it so far is this thread: no Shake 4 and Motion 4 support in Yosemite which feels inconclusive ATM.

Unfortunately, it most definitely does not. It gets moved to "/Incompatible Software", acquires a prohibitory symbol over the icon, and the Finder won't let you launch it. Attempting to start it from the command line results in a crash with an "Assertion failed" message. If there's a workaround for this, I haven't found it yet.
If you need Shake, don't upgrade to Yosemite. Sorry.
